Fresh fish and chips in Hurtmore
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Hurtmore
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. For staff Christmas parties and christmas customer days, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In winter near Hurtmore, we need firm ground and light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Planning a Christmas party in Hurtmore
Hurtmore is about 4 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Hurtmore is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Hurtmore is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover.
For anyone getting the train home after the party, the nearest station is Godalming station, about 1.2 miles south-east. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Charterhouse School, suit a chip van. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Hurtmore; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
For Christmas parties in GU7, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. From Hurtmore Road, Hurtmore Chase and Northway or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Hurtmore, we also cover Compton (1 mile north), Binscombe (1 mile east), Shackleford (1 mile west), Littleton (2 miles north-east) and Puttenham (2 miles north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (4 miles north-east), Woking (8 miles north), Camberley (10 miles north-west), Farnham (7 miles west), Dorking (13 miles east) and Frimley (9 miles north-west).
A little further out are Charterhouse School Museum (0.6 miles south-east) and Milford Hospital (2.4 miles south). Open spaces near Hurtmore include Frith Hill and Farncombe Wood.
- Local schools include Loseley Fields Primary School (1 mile east) and Broadwater School (1.7 miles east)
- Nearby, you will find The Harrow pub (0.8 miles north)
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Keep the queue dry
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send round an allergy question
Afterwards, we pack up.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Hurtmore
There is no venue to book or taxis to arrange, because the van comes to you.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
- End-of-year customer events
- Club and society Christmas socials
- Festive family gatherings
A Christmas fair at Church of St Nicholas is just the kind of event a chip van suits.

About the food
Haddock and chips

Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

Hurtmore questions
Can the van park in Middlebriars Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Hurtmore?
The closest is Godalming station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. It gets dark in Hurtmore by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
